Vitamin a and accutane

[havoc07]

IS ACCUTANE JUST A LARGE DOSE OF VITAMIN A? iF SO COULD YOU JUST TAKE ALOT OF VITAMIN A TO CLEAR YOUR SKIN UP?

I'm not sure about Accutane, but I'd be careful with the supplemental Vit A. You wouldn't want to take too much since it's a fat soluble vitamin. It's harder to get rid of excess as opposed to water soluble vits.

This is an outrageous statement. Accutane is a Vitamin A analog, NOT vitamin A!!! DO not take loads of Vitamin A!!!!! You need to be monitored and tested prior to even starting Accutane adn followed by a dermatologist.
